Mercenary Griera

One of the rewards for my victory was being given Griera's contact information.

… Sending a message directly to a girl might actually have been a first for me.

A little nervous, I sent the message.

This is Naoto Akai. If it's all right, I'd like to talk for a bit. Would now be okay?

That was the whole of my request.

The reply came right away.

No problem. Come at once.

… So curt. But she seemed to be welcoming me.

"All right Lyuka, can I ask you to do this?"

"… Yes, well, fine… Even though this whole week was supposed to be our lovey-dovey time together, you're calmly using me to go court another woman…"

Lyuka let out a sigh.

"Eh, um, is it actually no good…?"

I panicked.

"No, sorry. I've been falling into the habit of thinking by the values of Naoto-san's world.

"… By this world's values, there's absolutely no problem, and it's a beneficial action toward bringing Griera into your party going forward.

"I said something pointless. Let's get going."

Lyuka prepared a Gate right away.

"… Thanks. Tonight, we'll do it lots and lots, okay?"

I kissed Lyuka.

"… Yes."

Lyuka, her face turning bright red, smiled back at me, looking very happy.

The companions I brought along were Colette and Kanan…

Beyond the Gate was a place with the feel of a green, lush suburban villa district.

Greenery, not quite a dense thicket but grown to just the right amount, with a spring nearby. It gave the impression of a stylish wooden lodge.

"… What a lovely building. I'd thought someone like Griera would live in something more rugged."

"What's that supposed to mean. Even I want to relax at home, at least."

The one who came out to greet me was Griera, the mercenary with the eyepatch over her right eye and the prosthetic right arm.

She had the bearing of a veteran warrior, yet her face was that of a peerless beauty, which made it a little jarring.

Well, given the system where Garumon don't age, that just naturally turned out to be the case.

"Well, come in. You're welcome here."

And so I was shown inside. It was a lodge with a calm atmosphere, with a fireplace… and candelabras…

The furnishings looked to be quite high-quality, expensive pieces.

Of course, no matter what artwork was on display, nothing could be more captivating than she herself and her companions.

"Oooh, if it isn't Naoto-chaaan～! Griera was getting all worried about whether you'd contacted her yet～? You can't take so long to message her～"

Wearing a casual T-shirt and shorts, her reddish-brown hair tied up in a bun, Irana came running over and said that to me.

"Irana! You, geez!"

Griera, embarrassed, gave her a flick on the forehead.

"Owww."

Irana held her forehead with teary eyes.

… So she was that kind of girl.

"Fufufu… You're being noisy, Irana. Welcome to our home. We bid you welcome, Naoto Akai."

Klara greeted me politely and elegantly.

"… Hmph, the other day I let myself slip, but if we'd shown our true power we wouldn't have made such a pathetic display.

"We won't lose next time."

The silver-haired werewolf, Lizalind, was openly hostile.

"…"

Looking at her now, Kishilia's hair was more of a slightly grayish brown.

Unsociable as she was, she gave me a small nod, so it seemed she was welcoming me at least.

That was everyone… If I had to add anything, I'd have liked to meet Moruna-chan, but…

… Maybe she picked up on me thinking that.

"… Moruna-chan? Sure, but…"

When Kishilia spoke, suddenly…

"Magical Beast Summon, Moruna-chan."

She summoned a Magical Beast indoors.

A magic circle unfolded on the carpet covering the floor, and then…

Long hair shining blue-silver. Big eyes like mirrors that reflected light. Skin so clear it really did look transparent…

Unique Monster. Morpho Lunark, Moruna-chan, appeared, showing her ephemeral, beautiful figure.

"… Oho, that's rare, for Moruna to want to come out. She rarely shows herself even when it's just us.

"So Moruna acknowledges Naoto too, huh. Not bad."

Griera laughed.

"Well, take your time today… So, what's the matter?"

Moving to the main topic with no small talk made her a straightforward person.

"… Well, when you ask what the matter is… it'd be that I came to court Griera, I guess.

"Once again… won't you join my party?"

"… Hahaha! You're a joker!"

Whap whap, she slapped my back with her left hand.

"Eh, no, I'm not joking at all…"

It wasn't a 'someone like you has the gall' thing, was it? Conversely, maybe Griera's self-assessment was just low.

"Joining your party… are you serious?

"Even oddballs whimsical enough to want to bed a weird Garumon like me are rare enough.

"Let alone joining a party."

Apparently it was the latter.

"Eeeh!? No way! So beautiful, so cute, and on top of that strong… men who wouldn't want a Griera like that hardly exist!"

"… O-oh…"

Griera's face flushed red.

"N-no… W-well, the ones who do come around are usually the type that want to be done by me. Unfortunately I don't have the hobby of bedding men. I'd have to turn that down…"

"I'd turn that down too. We're well-matched, glad to hear it."

It seemed all of Griera's conditions could be accepted.

This was looking quite doable, so I took Griera's left hand.

The right hand… could I take it? Well, may as well.

I gently touched the hand of her prosthetic.

… Hard. With a gun built into it, of course it would be.

From the elbow down, it was both prosthetic and gauntlet. It was unusual for a Garumon to have a missing limb.

The large gauntlet had a gun built into the arm portion that could fire.

"… Even if you hold the right hand, there's no sensation. As you can see, it's a prosthetic.

"… You're an otherworlder, right. In this world, there are barely any Garumon with injuries.

"Recovery's high enough that even if your arm gets ripped off, as long as you're alive it'll reattach…

"And in the first place, situations where you'd get injured are situations where you'd get killed. Normally you'd be dead.

"My enemy was an oddball, I guess.

"Demon God Naia Vapula.

"That bastard's my enemy.

"… Like you, I made A-Class, and on what should've been a nothing assignment, I went on a subjugation into monster territory… and unluckily, I ran into him.

"Couldn't compete at all, couldn't even escape, got beaten to a pulp.

"But that bastard, he raped me, ripped off my right eye and arm and ate them, then… suddenly let me go.

"He must've taken a liking to something, or rather, decided to play with me.

"Saved my life, thanks to that.

"… Ever since, to gain the strength to defeat that bastard, I've kept honing my skills."

"Demon God Naia Vapula."

I committed the name of the Demon God who had hurt Griera to memory.

An opponent… I would someday defeat.

"And what was waiting for me when I limped home was ridicule. There aren't many Garumon who survive after being injured.

"Being raped by an enemy, having my right eye taken by him, all of it's true. I was mocked, called a freak.

"Ever since, the fools who tried to court me disappeared."

Griera said it like she'd been refreshed by it.

In truth, not being hit on by fools probably was refreshing…

"Just because of that, for the Masters of this world to not court a peerless beauty like Griera, isn't that too crazy?"

"… It's not just because of that… You don't know my nickname?"

"?"

Griera glanced at Lyuka, so…

"…'The One Targeted by the Demon God,' yes? I didn't think Griera-san would consider it an honor, so I didn't explain it to Naoto-san."

Lyuka added.

"That's thoughtful of you, and I appreciate it… But as my advisor, shouldn't you have explained? Thanks to you, your Master's hitting on me."

"I didn't think it was particularly information that would influence Naoto-san's judgment, so I kept quiet until I got permission from Griera-san."

"… You're a strange one."

"My Master's strange too."

The two of them seemed to be on the same wavelength about something.

"Mn, so what does that all mean? It's saying Griera is still being targeted by a Demon God?"

"Well, that's how it is.

"I've been receiving an invitation from him to become his servant. The reason I was let off was because of that."

With that, Griera took out a small seed.

"Whoops, before that, this."

She removed her eyepatch. A beautiful purple eye.

"This is the Demon Eye of Lightning.

"It's a sample gift from him: a 'become my servant and you can become this strong' trial.

"But because of it, the moment I enter monster territory, he detects my presence.

"On the next assignment after I came back… I was attacked by him again. The B-Class Sub-Master and C-Class Masters who were with me were killed, and only I was raped and kept alive once more.

"… Ever since, I've been unable to enter monster territory. Because of that, I retired from being an A-Class Master.

"And nobody approaches me anymore.

"… This other thing here is called the Demon God's Seed.

"If I plant it in me, supposedly my arm will heal in an instant… In exchange, I'll move even closer to becoming his servant than I am now.

"I can't go using it, so… I made a prosthetic.

"But to find him, this might be the only way.

"If I use it, I'll be almost entirely his servant, but as long as I don't make the final contract, I won't be a formal servant.

"In return, I'll be able to detect his presence too.

"… In other words, once I have the strength to defeat him, I use this to track him down… and then, with a body that's almost a servant, defeat him. Otherwise, I can't escape this dishonorable title.

"Until then, laying a hand on me means laying a hand on the Demon God's possession.

"Bringing me into your party means you yourself become a target of the Demon God.

"Well, for guys who treasure their lives, I can't really recommend it."

Griera explained.

"I see… So that's why you became C-Class, where there's no obligation to go into monster territory, and you've been honing your skills."

So she had that kind of past.

Now then… I had to think seriously too.

I didn't know much about Demon Gods, so I didn't know how much of a threat one was.

… Without knowing that, this didn't strike me as a problem I could glibly accept.

If I died, it wasn't just me. It would affect the lives and fates of my fourteen companions.

The reason they could happily enjoy themselves now was that I, their Master, was protecting them.

If they became the property of some other, less trustworthy Master, how much misfortune would rain down on them…

That much was easy enough to imagine, even without Yumi's situation.

For the sake of Griera, who had first met us as an enemy and tormented us, was it right to put my other beloved companions in a tough spot?

… Even so, among the heroes of all the anime and manga I'd enjoyed up to now, was there a single one who'd shrunk back from a heroine's plight and run away?

What was I trying to grow strong for? To protect those I loved.

… Bringing Griera into my fold here would be a huge boost to my fighting strength.

Even if I abandoned Griera here for momentary peace, if a Demon God attacked us right away, it would amount to the same thing.

And besides…

"Griera, after you lost, you cooperated as much as you could to keep me from dying.

"… In that case, you're already my comrade. When a comrade's in trouble, I face it down with my life on the line.

"Let me help."

Frankly, I'd already come to like Griera so much. Abandoning her wasn't a choice I could make.

"… Naoto."

Tears welled up in Griera's eyes.

"Tch, geez… A brat who doesn't know his right from his left, talking big…

"All right. In that case, first… try and bed me.

"If you can satisfy this me with that… fine. Comrade or whatever, I'll do it for you."

"Griera!"

At Griera's offer, I immediately threw myself at her and pushed her down onto the bed.

Chu, rero, kuchu, chu…

A passionate kiss with our tongues entwined.

Griera's long tongue twined with mine.

"Ha, ah, ahh…"

Griera let out a sweet sigh… Her speech was rough, but hearing her voice like this, she had a cute one.

"… Are you really sure though, Griera?

"Don't you think that if we both fought in top condition, I still wouldn't measure up to you?"

"Sure, if we both fought in top condition, back then I might've won eight or nine times out of ten.

"… But we fought, neither at top condition, on equal terms.

"As a result, you grabbed hold of a thin chance of winning that you'd never have had in a straight fight.

"That strength, the strength to draw victory to you, I acknowledge it.

"… That's why I'm not going to nitpick."

Griera said.

I kissed her again.

"That, um… Can I take it that you've come to like me?"

I tried asking.

"… Hey, you, getting ahead of yourself like that…"

Griera was momentarily indignant, but…

"Now that I think of it, you, with a partner who doesn't like you…"

"That's right. I'll hold back until you come to like me."

"… That's a way of thinking I can't believe in. Even an ugly woman like me's got a manko on her, so just go and do it…"

"Griera's cute. So very cute. You're a peerless beauty.

"When I saw you, Griera, shedding tears over my safety, my chest squeezed up so tight…

"Griera, I've come to like you.

"That's why I want to have sex.

"I want to do it like crazy.

"… But, if you don't like me, I'll hold back. I'll do my best to get you to come to like me too.

"… So what'll it be?"

"Y-you, geez…"

Griera was bright red.

"E-even I, you know…

"Seeing your Garumon all putting their lives on the line for you from the heart, I thought it was amazing too…

"Seeing you who beat me… that's, um… I-I thought you were c-cool, that's how I felt!

"I-in the first place, hey, being happy I lost, being relieved you were safe, that kind of thing… that's not something I'd think unless I was in love with you, no way!"

And then, she finally said it honestly.

"… I'm glad. I love you, Griera…!"

I clung to her again and kissed her passionately.

"… Truly, you're a strange one, geez…"

Even as she said spiteful things, she obediently accepted my kiss.

A naked Griera… with her right-arm prosthetic removed. From her right elbow on, her arm was severed and gone, a maimed body…

"… I-is it really… okay, with a body like this…"

Griera tried to hide her body bashfully with her hand, but with her right arm she couldn't cover all the places she wanted to, which was cute.

Slightly tan skin. But what wonderfully heavy, just-shy-of-super-jugs explosive breasts she had, with very beautiful pink nipples.

Her penis was quite splendid too. Not much different from mine, and given her height, looked to be a fairly impressive size.

But she didn't seem particularly muscular; she had a normal slender, soft-looking girl's body.

A Garumon's strength came from magic assisting movement, so no matter how much she moved, ran, or trained, muscle wouldn't easily come on.

Squishy and soft to the touch, she had the kind of body that would feel really good during sex.

I didn't even need to reply to Griera's words; I showed her by displaying my rock-hard erect penis.

"… Hyuh… Y-you, wearing that calm face, c-carrying around something fierce…"

I gently laid Griera down on the bed and softly touched the slit beneath her penis.

Kuchu, jun…

Plenty wet. With this, foreplay didn't seem necessary. Still, I touched Griera's wonderful, large breasts.

"A, a, ah…"

Griera let out a sweet, cute voice.

A size where my palm couldn't cover all of it, with overflow. And so very soft… Yeah, just as her appearance suggested, her body was made of soft flesh, not muscle, like melting jelly.

There were massive Garumon out there too. The difference came down to innate constitution, or maybe a Master's preferences shaped how a Garumon developed.

Looking at her companions, it was obvious Griera herself liked these soft-bodied girls.

So her own body was probably approaching that ideal physique of hers as well.

And those preferences matched mine perfectly, so…

Griera and I could probably get pretty fired up swapping erotic talk like 'this woman's the best' or 'that woman's the best.'

Griera had an utterly ideal body for me. Above all, her breasts were so huge and so soft, and they felt amazing.

"Ah, ah, nha, ah, ahhh… hyuk, n-nguh, e-enough already, anymore and I'll come from just the breasts…

"K-kuh, this me, just from the breasts, this much… y-you're skilled, you…"

Even Griera, who seemed battle-hardened in this department, gave me her approval.

Then, next… let me show her this.

I positioned my penis at Griera's slit, which by now was thoroughly drenched.

"… I'm putting it in."

"… A, ah… C-come…"

Griera looked a little anxious. The timid face of a strong-willed girl… yeah, that was nice.

Thinking that, I gently pushed my penis in.

"…!"

Kyuuuuuuu!

So tight! Tight! Eh, virg… no wait, she's not. F-for the time being, even when I put it in… um, there's no resistance from the membrane.

But… it's tight! Such a fierce squeeze!

The training Griera had built up over the years wasn't reflected in her body because of magic, but…

Maybe just here, the tightness had skyrocketed. That was how tight it felt.

… No wonder a Demon God would get carried away and want her!

I completely understood what Naia Vapula had been thinking.

"Ugh… t-thick… big… hot… haa, haa, h-how… is it… even with a weird woman like me… d-does it… feel good…?"

"… So… too good. No wonder a Demon God would be captivated…"

"… Hngh, h-hey, you… w-well… if Naoto's… pleased… t-that's… not bad either…"

She said something cute.

I worked hard and pushed my hips forward.

Zuppori…

It was a struggle because she was so tight, but somehow I got it in to the base.

Wow… a-amazing, my whole penis was being squeezed muggyuuu!, and with even the slightest movement of Griera's, it kept tightening kyu, kyu, kyu. Just having it inserted was already trying to wring out my semen!

"I-I'm going to move…"

If I didn't, just being inside would make me cum. Thinking that, I desperately pulled out and thrust back in, but…

"…!"

Dokku-dokku-dokku-dopyu!

That was a bad move… once I started moving, the pleasure rushed in all at once…

There was no way I could endure it.

In an instant, I'd ejaculated.

"A, aaah, aaah…!"

Bukku-bukku-byuu!

Stimulated by my ejaculation, Griera also climaxed all at once. Her penis ejaculated a huge amount, soiling her breasts and face.

"Haa, haa, haa…"

Even after coming, I still couldn't pull my penis out.

It was just too tight to slip out easily. While I dawdled, my penis went rock-hard erect again, and again I couldn't pull out…

Wow, this was incredible. Once you put it in, it tried to wring out every last drop… To pull off a Desperate Magic Bullet even with her omanko, that was Griera for you.

To survive, I'd have to keep using recovery magic over and over… For now, I'd push through till my limit.

I desperately pulled my penis out of Griera's omanko… and immediately thrust it deep again.

"…!"

That alone almost made me cum… but I just barely held on.

"Hyugi, nhaa…!"

Pyu, dopyu, dopyu!

But Griera, on her end, seemed to come from a single thrust.

I see, this tightness was a double-edged sword. Intense pleasure was welling up on Griera's side too.

… In that case, this was a contest of which of us would hit our stamina limit first.

Zupu, zupu

Dopyu, dopyu

Zupu…

A fierce piston motion and fierce repeated ejaculations. Of course I came over and over too.

Each time was so absurdly good it almost hurt.

When I touched her breasts in my distress, becho, they were sticky-soaked with Griera's semen.

Just how much was she ejaculating?

Griera's ochinchin was, by now, releasing semen dopyu dopyu like a broken faucet.

Well, me too. Mine was just less obvious because I was discharging inside Griera's vagina.

… That sort of thing went on, with a generous ten or so ejaculations…

Zuru

I finally pulled out.

The reason was that I'd ejaculated so much I'd filled the inside of Griera's womb, and the semen had backed up into her vagina, which was why it slipped out…

Well, the usual reason, I guess.

Still, it might have been a good chance to catch my breath.

"Haaaaa… that felt amazing… How was it for Griera?"

"…"

Griera had passed out, eyes rolled up white.

Pyu, bbyu, byuuuu!

Semen overflowed from her crotch, and the next moment…

Shaaaaaa…

She was peeing from her ochinchin.

When you came too hard, your whole body's muscles would loosen and you'd lose bladder control. That often happened.

Griera had clearly been satisfied plenty too, so that was good.

"… Th-this me… being… reduced to a state covered in semen, covered in pee…"

Griera was disheartened.

"It felt really good."

I tried to kiss her as I said that, but Griera, seeing the state she was in, stopped me.

"… Irana, Lizalind, can you clean me up…"

"Yes～ … Griera-san, you were cute～"

"… To think Griera could be this thoroughly handled… Naoto Akai… what a guy…"

Pecha, juru, juru…

Irana and Lizalind licked the semen off Griera's body, and occasionally kissed Griera and fed it back to her mouth-to-mouth, nicha-nicha, licking semen off each other.

Erotic…

My penis got hard again.

"… You, you're really something… e-even I'm at the limit of my stamina…

"But… i-it felt amazing… it was the best.

"I really was a Garumon after all. Being held lots and lots… I'm… happy."

Saying that, Griera smiled gently. I… was happy too.

And then, after Irana and Lizalind cleaned her up by licking… Griera came over and clung to me, and kissed me.

"… You could've stayed as you were."

"I-I wanted to be clean, that's all… K-kissing the man I love, I-I want to be clean for it…"

Eh, what was with this cute girl. So very cute.

I tried to push Griera down again.

"Wait, wait, wait, no more, no more… Tomorrow, tomorrow okay. I'll save up plenty of stamina… If you'd love on me again tomorrow, that'd make me happy…"

"Yeah, got it… I'll come again tomorrow. You're cute, Griera."

"H-hey… d-don't tease me…"

She said that, but she didn't seem displeased.

"W-well… I'm your comrade now, right…? Coming or whatever, this is your home now too… use it however you like."

Griera seemed thoroughly satisfied with our sex.

"… And, if you're still not satisfied… feel free to do whatever with my comrades too.

"They're my dear comrades. If it's you… you'll make them happy, the way you did me, won't you.

"If you make those girls happy too, it'd make me happy."

Griera was giving me her permission, just like that.

Being allowed to have sex with such attractive companions…

"Thank you. I'm happy… Of course, I'll properly check each one's wishes, and only do it with girls who feel kindly toward me."

"… The 'only do it with girls you love' principle, huh… That's not bad either. Indeed, that way both sides are happier…"

Griera was completely melted.

Now then, in that case, if any of Griera's companions felt favorably toward me… I might do it a little more.

Thinking that, I stood up…

Gabaa

Suddenly, I was tackled.

"Moruna-chan!?"

Kishilia was startled.

I looked up and saw Moruna, the one with the blue-silver hair, having stripped off her clothes at some point, mounted on top of me.

She was rubbing her crotch against my erect penis.

"Eh, um… Moruna-chan, is it okay for us to have sex?"

"… Want to, Moruna, with Naoto, sex, want to."

Moruna told me that in a halting, cute voice.

"Eh, um…"

I checked with Kishilia, the Beast Tamer.

"A Magical Beast's expressions of affection are more direct than us Garumon's.

"… Looks like she acknowledged Naoto, who beat her.

"Please, hold her."

I had Kishilia's stamp of approval too.

In that case… gladly.

I kissed Moruna.

Chu, kuchu, rero…

Even though she was a Magical Beast, she was no different from a human. Sweet, soft, melting lips and tongue…

One kiss alone felt good enough to send me to heaven.

And then… I grabbed her pale, transparent-looking breasts.

"Nn…"

Moruna let out a sweet sigh.

A little cold. It seemed her body temperature was low. But other than that, very soft, comfy girl-breasts.

Wonderful. Munyu, munyun… I lost myself in kneading Moruna's breasts.

And then…

I positioned my penis at her now-completely-wet crotch.

Now then… my first sex with a Magical Beast.

Zu, zupupu…

I… inserted my penis. Not as tight as Griera, so easy to enter. But that didn't mean it didn't feel good. Quite the opposite…

Whoa, amazing, like thousands of folds… no, this was… like sentient bugs clinging to me!

Whoa, what was this, I was being devoured! Her omanko's flesh, no, not flesh, something tentacle-like, coiled jururu around my penis, squeezed muggyuuu, writhing…

Whoa, this was incredible, this kind of motion was definitely impossible in a human! Without question a Magical Beast, but…

Aah geez, it felt amazingly good!

What was this, like flesh that had evolved beyond bodily limits purely to make a man cum.

An impossible sensation was guiding me to ejaculation…!

"A, aaah, aah… Morunaa…!"

Dopyu-dopyu! Dokkun!

I ejaculated a huge amount in an instant. Even after I'd put out so much… no, well, my HP was finally being consumed now.

Before I'd noticed, I was at 27/30. Twenty-seven left to go… All right, sorry to everyone waiting at home, but for my first time having sex with Griera and the others, I'd push myself a little.

This time, I thrust hard and fast inside Moruna.

… Whoa, when I moved, the tentacle-coiling got even more intense and felt even better! This was crazy, my head was going to break…!

Dopyu, dopyuu!

When I came, Moruna also seemed to climax with biku-bikun.

The pleasure of her omanko surprised me, but as expected… she was almost no different from a normal girl.

In that case… I lost myself thrusting in and out of Moruna. I came over and over, and Moruna climaxed over and over…

"… Naoto… love, Moruna, Naoto, love…"

Moruna whispered her love in halting words, and finally, at the end, collapsed unconscious.

… Hmm, she was cute.

"… That Moruna would be satisfied, surprising. A Magical Beast's stamina is strong. Griera always struggles too…"

Kishilia praised me.

"Thank you. Can Magical Beasts make babies?"

"Magical Beasts don't bear children. Semen poured in is used only for self-strengthening.

"… With this, Moruna can become even stronger. Thank you, Naoto."

"Ahaha… I'm glad I could be useful."

Seventeen left… at this rate, if everyone wanted to do it, I'd hit my limit on uses…

But it seemed not everyone was quite ready to be held right away.

"… A-aren't you going, Klara-san?"

"If you want to go, you go… As a princess, I do not so easily yield my body to a man simply because I've met one who's somewhat splendid! … If you say you'll make me fall for you, then you must absolutely accomplish that first."

That seemed to be Klara's view.

"… I don't consider myself defeated.

"… Next time I'll fight at full strength. If you can beat me, you can do as you please with my body."

That was Lizalind's proposition.

"I… feel quite favorably toward Naoto. Moruna also took to Naoto. I'm happy you treasured Moruna.

"But it would be bad if Naoto got too tired. Let's leave it for tomorrow."

That was Kishilia's proposition.

"E-erm… in that case, can it be another time for me too? I thought Griera-san was cute, and the Naoto-san who reduced that Griera-san to that state, I do feel favorably toward him, but…"

Irana looked easily swayed by those around her.

"Of course. We're going to have a long, long association from here on… There's no need to rush at all."

And so I shook hands with each of Griera's companions and tried to kiss them.

If they didn't want it, I'd kiss the cheek instead, I thought, but first, Klara obediently let me kiss her on the lips.

"… W-well, that was a fairly sweet and gentlemanly kiss… If you keep that kind of attitude up… t-the next time, surrendering my body to you also…

"S-still, it's still too early!"

Klara was bashful.

Lizalind too…

"Mn, nchu, mn… This kiss is a declaration of war! I won't lose! Until you defeat me at full strength, don't think you can do as you please with this body!"

Lizalind blazed with passion.

Kishilia…

"Mn, chu, mn, nn… puhaa… The taste of Moruna-chan's lips…

Irana told me.

And so, I became very close with Griera.
